  MultiLisp
       
           A {parallel} extension of {Scheme} with explicit
          {concurrency}.  The form (future X) immediately returns a
          "{future}", and creates a {task} to evaluate X.  When the
          evaluation is complete, the future is resolved to be the


          value.

          R. Halstead, TOPLAS pp.501-538 (Oct 1985)].
       
          [Did MultiLisp use {PVM} as its intermediate language?]
